Guest alex Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Whatever happened to it? Used to love it on Saturday after the match. Died a death due to a lack of circulation. Basically because of less and less matches being 3 o'clock on a Saturday plus Sky (especially SSN) rendering it defunct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Whatever happened to it? Used to love it on Saturday after the match. Used to love it..... If we won. Some older ones on here might remember the old radio shows that featured no commentary on the games. Every now and then "Its a Gooooooooooooooooooool" would roar out and you had to wait a few seconds to see if they were going to the Newcastle game or the Sunderland game. Then you had to wait a few seconds more to see if it was for or against. Used to sit in an old hay loft on the local farm listening to that and drinking Cresta.

Severals columns on the first half then the last half / third of the game condensed into about 3 lines to meet the publishing deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Whatever happened to it? Used to love it on Saturday after the match. I used to love it too, 530 at the paper shop happy days. The mackem version still exists I think. Used to love the free glossy posters, had the Gazza one on my wall for years even when he left for Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting the last bus home after we beat Man Utd, and I had it in my hand, this old dear asked me the score and wouldn't believe me when I said we'd beaten them 4-3 mustve thought I was drunk, I remember having to show her the score in The Pink. I can't remember it after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Just reminded me about a bloke me Dad knew. He used to get the Pink and memorise the the quiz answers just in time for the quiz in the club on a Saturday tea-time. He got rumbled when he started giving the right answers to the wrong questions.

The Pink and Chronicle sellers too, they had a way of shouting. You don't really hear it even for the Chron these days. It was like "Roooooooonulullllll" and for The Pink it was like "Wuuuuuuuuuugh".

The Fish 9017 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Convinced a mate the guy was looking for his friend Ronnie Gill and it was a bit of a tradition because they always met by the monument. She's not the brightest though; she was the one who genuinely believed that Koala bears came from Kuala Lumpur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
